Doing our part amidst corona pandemic outbreak

We at Richardsons Face Hospitals doing our part amidst corona pandemic outbreak.

This is case of a girl who brought her mother who had fallen down and had multiple mandibular bone fractures. She was primarily taken to a local Government hospital for her treatment. Unfortunately, India was put under lockdown due to the corona virus scare and the government hospital had allotted a lot of beds for the current corona virus patients that their priority was more focused on those patients. This patient was sent home with very basic treatment with some arch bars, elastics and bands and consequently the patient had no occlusion which made it difficult for her to chew anything. Provided she had pain continuously.

The patient was directed to us (Richardsons Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) by another physician. At the time of crisis it is important to continue to carry on with our duty to help patients with other medical problems which may affect their quality of life and to save our community. Keeping this in mind, our surgeon, Dr. Sunil Richardson, planned a surgery to repair the two fractures in the lower jaw. The surgery went on well as planned and Dr. Sunil Richardson was able to repair the mishap committed by the earlier surgeon. The mandibular fracture was reduced and the arch bars were removed.

Subsequently, our medical team here at Richardsons was able to execute our duty amongst the lockdown in India. It is the right of every person in need of medical help to attain the same as well.

SPACE INFECTIONS

2020-03-18T00:35:00.000-07:00

SPACE INFECTIONS

There are spaces present between the fascia (soft tissues) and underlying organs which actually do not exist but these spaces are created when there is a presence of infection or pathology. There are multiple spaces in the upper and lower portion of the face. Out of which the Submandibular Space infection is the life-threatening one.

Submandibular Space is at the lower border of the jaw. Infection from our posterior teeth drains into the submandibular region causing Sub Mandibular Space Infection, the more severe form is termed as Ludwig’s Angina. It is a rapidly spreading infection that leads to severe pain, swelling, dysphagia and can be fatal if left untreated.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:

Initially, it starts with pain in tooth and indurations in the lower border of the jaw. And in the later stages, it progresses to swellings, tenderness, restricted mouth opening, dysphagia, sound on breathing and blockage of the airway due to the elevated posterior tongue.

TREATMENT PROTOCOLS

Maintenance of airway

Incision and Drainage

Antibiotic therapy

WHAT IS INCISION AND DRAINAGE

It is a procedure performed to treat the abscess. An abscess is the accumulation of pus. It appears as a painful, swollen area with a warm, red surface over the skin. It is treated by a procedure called Incision and Drainage also termed as I&D. It is puncturing the surface skin over the abscess and release the pus accumulated under the skin.

HOW DO YOU DO INCISION AND DRAINAGE..??

The surface is painted with a povidone-iodine solution and a stab incision is placed at the center of the abscess. The pus and built-in pressure are released. Once the pus is completely removed, debridement is done with antibiotic solution. And the patient is advised to take oral medications for 3-5 days to get rid of the infection and prevent it from occurring again.

Here is a video graphics representation of incision and drainage did at Richardsons Dental and Craniofacial Hospital by Dr. Sunil Richardson
